Has anybody seen this? I am 400 hundred turns in and with the exception of the Yor and the Snathi, no AI civ has expanded beyond their own star cluster. The worst example is the Thalan who only have their homeworld with two excellent star clusters well within their range.

I am playing on Ludicrous with tight clusters, uncommon stars and abundant planets. The only mods I am running are a homebrew that gives me access to all mercs, Expanded Cities and Population EXP 0.75.
